Best Takeout Counter (Grocery)

Super Deli Mart

From the outside, Super Deli Mart looks like what it is: a former 7-Eleven. From the inside, it's like no other convenience store in the city. There are a couple aisles of toiletries and economy-sized edibles, sure, but the vast majority of the floor space is devoted to beer and wine. Not just any beer and wine, but really good beer and wine (and cigars!) that could only have been procured by the geekiest of geeks. And five or six of those beers are on tap (they host regular brewer meet-and-greets) behind the counter, where meaty, cheesy sandwiches on French rolls are also prepared. If you've got a growler, you can take it all to go. Or, better yet, enjoy it among new friends at Super Deli's communal table, hand-carved on Vashon Island. MIKE SEELY 9051 35th Ave. S.W., 937-1442
